PHOTOGRAPHY

Alongside music, I have a real passion for photography, and in recent years, I've been fortunate enough to be able to indulge that passion.

I'm really and most definitely NOT into the happy families, smiling babies and fluffy animals thing, I am more than very happy to leave that to everyone else. My interests lie firmly in a more creative/dramatic/eclectic direction, things which you wouldn't ordinarily look at to take a picture of or a subject that isn't your normal cup of photographic cup of tea. So, when you look at my photos, you'll see concerts, old derelict buildings, alternative landscapes, recording studios and very soon close-ups of ordinary things seen from a different angle.

Please do click on the gallery links on the right-hand sinde of this page to get a feel for what I do. I also have a Flickr page where all my pictures are displayed, and which you can fine HERE.

The list below shows my weapons of choice:

Canon 1100D digital SLR
Canon 18-55mm lens
Canon 55-250mm lens
Canon 50mm lens
Hahel tripod
Circular Polariser
Neutral density filters: ND2 ND4 ND8
Variable neutral density filters: ND2 to ND400
Close-up filters: +1 +2 +4 +10
58mm reversing ring (for the 18-55mm and 55.250mm lenses)
52mm reversing ring (for the 50mm lens)
Wireless remote shutter release

I'm also very much into the processing side of photography and the advent of the digital darkroom has been a wonderful thing. Here's a list of the software I use for processing my photographs:

Adobe Bridge CC
Adobe Photoshop CC
Photoscape
HDRsoft Photomatix Pro
Nik Software Snapseed
Nik Software HDR Efex Pro
Nik Software Color Efex Pro
Nik Software Silver Efex Pro
Nik Software Analog Efex Pro
Nik Software Viveza
Nik Software Define
Nik Software Sharpener Pro

Naturally, photography is one of those pastimes whereby new bits and pieces are always going to be added, and as that happens, I'll update this page.
